Thakral Corporation Ltd has revealed plans for The Beauty Tech Group Limited, in which it holds a 9.32% stake, to pursue an initial public offering (IPO) on the London Stock Exchange. The announcement follows a previous clarification regarding a Sky News article and highlights the company’s strategic move to enhance its financial position through this potential listing.
The Beauty Tech Group, formerly known as CurrentBody.com Ltd, is a UK-based company under the parentage of Project Glow Topco Limited.
